Hi William, Each Powerwall can accept 5 kW of continuous charge and 7 kW peak for 10 seconds. These values increase respectively with additional units (i.e. 10kW continuous for 2 units, 15kW for 3 etc). It’s my understanding that each unit can accept 7.6 kW of AC coupled PV. If PV is generating

Max rating of the Gateway2 is 200A. Regarding a generator input, you're correct, there's no means that I'm aware of to integrate a backup generator with the Tesla equipment that would interact with the solar and storage. marco On Thu, Apr 28, 2022 at 5:45 PM William Miller via RE-wrenches <

[RE-wrenches] AC Coupled Tesla system

2022-04-28 Thread William Miller via RE-wrenches
Friends: I have two questions about AC coupling Tesla systems: 1. Are there limits on how much power can be AC coupled through a Tesla gateway? Does it depend on the quantity of power-walls connected? 2. I understand a Tesla system does not have a separate generator input so if a

Dave - Unfortunately the SPS feature is not "back" fully. Choosing "yes" during commissioning for the SPS feature allows for it to work (with switch and outlet installed) but ONLY for the same solar day as an outage occurs. When the Sunny Boy goes to sleep, the sunspec transmitter will stop
